Goals:

Birchbox is the easiest way to discover and shop for beauty and grooming products by pairing a monthly subscription of personalized samples with relevant content and a curated online shop. Birchbox re-envisioned its mobile app as a shopping tool for subscribers who wanted to be able to shop anywhere, anytime, without waiting for a mobile site to load. Birchbox then launched a comprehensive push messaging strategy to support its app. In order to help develop, implement, automate and track its push notification strategy, Birchbox chooses Carnival by Sailthru. Here were their goals:

Increase visit frequency per user

Grow revenues for Birchbox’s online shop

Upsell engaged, high value customers

Advance mobile messaging with more personalization and segmentation
